Is this Greece's Greenest Island?
|
|
Despite having the initial appearance of a traditional Greek island in the Dodecanese archipelago, Tilos is leading the way in setting up more sustainable and responsible practices. The whole island is designated a nature reserve, and home to over 100 species of birds, all homes have solar panels to heat their water, buses and other council vehicles are electric, and a whopping 91.7% of waste on the island is recycled! In the latest issue of Charitable Traveller, we look at Tilos's greener outlook, along with a few other islands making steps towards a more sustainable future in Greece.
